This is often why God may opt to be ambiguous instead.
The latter case brings the old debate into duscussion: do the license owners determine what's canon and what's not or are the writers the one and only gods? Or the holders of the rights to the work disagree with the writer's explanation and tells them to change it (examples of this either qualify as Executive Meddling or Executive Veto). There's more than one writer, or a new writer replaces the old in either case they decide to ignore what the God said earlier.The author might've changed their mind about what would work for the story (for better or worse).
